Just installed #Quad9 Connect on my mobile and now I have encrypted DNS which blocks ISP snooping, plus blocking of malware domains and ability to see and filter unwanted phoning home.
I expect to use Quad9 in my #HomeLab setup too, so...
Good or bad move?
Thx to @unknownuniverse for the tip.

I have no idea why you'd want to do it but whilst fixing a @DNSHistory stats issue I spotted ~4500 domains have multiple (duplicated) SOA records.
For example https://dig.domains/soa/mrmmobilya.com has 7 SOA records (via Google Public DNS). Quad9 only returns one but Cloudflare, OpenDNS, and a local PowerDNS Recursor also return 7.

🌐 Still using Chrome in 2026?
Chrome sees EVERYTHING:
Every search. Every site. Every click.
All sent to Google 24/7. 📡
I tested 4 browsers so you don't have to:
🔴 Chrome — tracks everything. Avoid.
🟡 Vivaldi — better, but not fully open
🟢 Cromite — FOSS, de-Googled Chrome
🦊 IronFox — the privacy king. My daily.
